Just saw this in Upwork’s Freelancing Stats for 2025 report:

48% of CEOs plan to increase freelance hiring

78% believe top freelancers add more value than degree-holding employees

Freelancers earned over $1.5 trillion in 2024

Here’s why this is HUGE for us:

✅ Companies aren’t just open to freelance/remote help — they’re actively planning for it

✅ Decision makers see strategic freelancers as more valuable than traditional hires

✅ Budgets are growing for skilled support — not bargain-basement rates

What do you think?

Are you seeing this shift in the type of clients reaching out to you?

🎯 Bonus tip: If you’re still selling “time” instead of positioning yourself as a solution, you risk being overlooked in this new wave.
